His name resonates throughout the galaxy. There are those who have tried to steal his identity. There are those who have tried to live in his name. All have never truly succeeded. His name and his statue stands proudly in the Citadel. The name Shepard spoken with one utter quiver of both respect and fear, is a name known by all species. The world has spoken silent and so has the galaxy, ever since the Reapers and the Geth were frozen back into dark space. They have been defeated.

But this tale doesn't stand nor cross the boundaries of Shepard's tale. He is dead. He is dead through a life and service of the Alliance. The Alliance now hounds their military as if they are trying to breed a new world Shepard. They behave as if they alone are the only service built to save the world. Today though is a good day. In the black shadow of the galaxy, in the sleek universe is a beautiful ship. It's thrusters shined as it left the Citadel. It always started off as a routine mission.

The Horizon

Background

The Horizon is headed to a planet of the Horse Head Nebula System called Ferious. Like the Normandy it is a ship with no history and no name for itself. Horizon simply is a military vessel. On their way to the planet the ship disappears. The Alliance military only get one SOS message of the ship being attacked. But there is never a trace of the ship being attacked. The captain and it's crew are lost.

But on another planet Shilaru of the Local Clusters, the captain of the Horizon wakes up to find he is nowhere near his/her crew or the ship. He finds some way to contact the Alliance. And is brought back to the Citadel, with no memory of an attack he sets out to find his ship. To not only find it on the docking station of Ferious, but in tact. Except that his crew is nowhere to be seen. There is no evidence that the ship had ever been used by anyone.

While searching for clues a video message is turned on.

"I know where you're crew is, but you'll have to trust me in order to get them back,"

Now the captain of this ship is led on a blind mission despite Alliance's wishes.

The role of the pure biotic is taken. By me just a fair warning. You can have Vanguards and what not. But the pure Biotic is my role. Sorry.

As I said this follows ME, but I am allowing some creative freedom. Like whenever I played as an Adept I rarely used my gun unless my systems recharged. So to me a pure Biotic is like Jack who ripped mechs apart with just biotic skill.

edit-

It also means I am allowing people one special Perk that only belongs to their character.

Like for example Revenent's Scientific Officer may have the special trait [and it is whatever you feel like creating] called Neural Decay..and it can work like Overload to an enemies shields, but instead more like to the enemies brain. Or something like that. Depends on what kind of scientist he really is. Btw, that is just an example. Revenent doesn't need to do that. It's just an example.

Hmm.. I'll need to know a touch more on the perks you'd be willing to allow. As an Infiltrator I could come up with a few ideas for a perk. Regardless I shall definitely be making good use of that omni blade if I get the chance.

Perks can be anything...like Kasumi had flashbangs and after defeating the game we got a extra skill like Slam. Within some boundaries. Give me your ideas and I will see what I can do. This Perk is a perk special to your role.

How long after the events of the Mass Effect trilogy is this set? Is it safe to assume that the Quarians have returned to their homeworld/found a new one since the Geth are dead and are welcome in the Citadel again?

Quarian Engineer, a Machinist that actually studied medicine and biology. Also, she's just a little . . . out there. She's still on her pilgrimage, because she knows EXACTLY what she wants to bring back, but hasn't succeeded yet. She's currently involved in junk-diving, black market shenanigans, piracy, and pretty much anything she can do across the galaxy to get the funding and supplies necessary to try and make medical nanomachines to replace/supplement the weakened immune system. At the moment she's gotten the nanomachine's efficiency up to about 72 minutes, before they break down (So at about the hour mark she freaks out and runs to scrub down and get her enviro-suit back on!).

Also, making the successive version of the nanomachines is INCREDIBLY expensive and difficult, so it takes . . . effort. On the plus side, every now and then she can feel the sun on her skin, or touch other people! Note, I'm still looking for an image to use for the Quarian race out-of-suit that's nice enough. Any help on that is appreciated.

(Speaking from a combat perspective, her specialities are slapping Medi-gel on people, emergency hacking, and using a combat drone.)

Latooni, if you want to continue the conversation of your character's background please kind of do it with me in a PM.

I wanted to kind of keep them secret from The Captain. So that way it plays a little like, he is trying to gain your trust and you express stuff. But because this is a RP your personal quest will span into a few chapters and such.
